Should we add a "Help! Plant Problems" section to the forum?

I think seperated sections would make it easier for people to find post and get questions answered not just for plant help bit also equipment experiences, lights, fans tents etc.

Thanks for your opinion! So far it's seeming like people want to try a separate plant problems section, but I'll just see what people have to say today, too :) You all have really great points and perspectives!
 
A side note: I think if newbies could/ would be encouraged to refer to the GWE site before they post a question ( have you done your homework?) it would thin some traffic as well as be encouraged to bring their plant problem into natural light and photo it.
Also: not sure possible but; categories ( maybe color/font coded) where to post the question i.e. Medium or Coco questions, light questions, pH questions, Water hydro questions , etc. so that I could view Coco questions and hopefully answer in a timely way ( for example) other than searching the many threads to see if I can help as well as view responses for myself.
It takes time to go to GWE web to find the link(s) to refer basic answers back to question poster.
That said emergencies could be thinned in basic issues like over watering, light distance, leaf issues and pH - which I consider to be a major start here issue if homework was done first then Qs posted to categories for help.
 
U just said it,highlight it with a different color,color code the sections easy to use with each post what do u think there Mrs. Haze?any Merrit . Just spitballing lol
 
My current project is an 02 Mini Cooper. Tried to post a picture but it's been a total rebuild.
 
What if you add a "FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS" post. Some one here said the same question keeps being asked so just make sure we get those frequently asked questions on there and try to add it where we can't miss it like the first post always no matter what.. not sure if you understand what I mean but I'm just saying and I think it will work that way we are all together not missing out on anything..
 
If on a computer, make a favourite/bookmark when you create a thread so you can return to it easily.
 
I think a help section would be beneficial to some people, perhaps you could populate it with links to the tutorials of the most common plant problems on the GWE site, similar to the tutorial section that is currently there but with the option to post a new thread. I have the website and the forum book marked for easy access to both and I have found just about every answer I needed to be on the website. The layout of the website makes it very easy to access specific info quickly through the links on the site map. If those links were available on the forum it would make the access even easier.
 
Just color code the different sections,and pick the color u wish to go to,I'm no computer whizz,and I don't know s#%t about how hard it would b to do that,but it could make those of us that are computer handcaped a little bit more confident.Im just spitballing here,..... Any Merrit Mrs. Haze?
 
I agree with Obi-Wan. Practically all the info you need is on the GWE site. If you do your homework then you probably already know the answer. But that being said, it usually hits home a little harder when someone or a group of people tell you the exact same thing. Links to GWE site when you have a "my leaves are turning yellow!!" question. Boom. There is the link to take you to what you need to know. Not that I know how to make it happen......LOL!!!
 
Great ideas in here! Today I added a rudimentary Plant Problems section to start, and after seeing how it goes we'll see how we need to break it down further! I'm going to make prefixes for Soil, Coco and Hydro to start, as well, so people can easily tag their post if they want!
 
I made it so that "GrowWeedEasy.com" in the Navigation bar of the forum takes readers to the Site Map page instead of the Home page. I hope that helps more growers find what they're looking for on the website!
